21st Century Explorer – Today’s Knowledge for Tomorrow’s Explorer / Explorador del Siglo 21, El Conocimiento de Hoy Para el Explorador de Mañana |
During this half-day symposium, sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA), scientists and education specialists shared information with
teachers about the 21st Century Explorer project, about NASA’s Crew Exploration
Vehicle, and about how the human body changes during space flight. The presenters
led activities that enhanced the participants' knowledge about space flight, science,
and engineering that can be easily replicated in their classrooms. All participants
received educational materials and information about related links available via
the NASA web site. Former NASA Astronaut Michael Baker, who participated on four
Space Shuttle missions, was one of the presenters of this Symposium sharing his
spaceflight experiences with the audience.
This symposium was held at the NSTA National Conference on Science Education in
Boston, MA. The program was designed for teachers of grades 3-5.
